precisely

i listened to a wireless programme about the psychology of pelanty taking and the balance of power shifts heavily to the side of the penalty taker if he strings out the time he needs to take the kick and he avoids eye contact with the keeper. the longer the time taken the higher successful conversion rate. well according to boffins that is. they did some audio clips with england internationals and to a man they all said they absolutely dreaded it and just wanted to take the kick as soon as possible and get the thing done, if you give players the belief that they can do things to take control of the situation then that gives them more confidence.

something like that anyway.
